“Sorry to make you worry!” Sanaa smiled.
“Miss Sanaa, the people from Zenith Sect didn’t harm you, did they?” Frostblade asked.
“No!” Sanaa smiled again. “They might be afraid that your Boss would come after them, so they didn’t dare to harm me.”
“Smart of them!” Stout clicked his tongue. “Otherwise, we would have wiped out their sect!”
Then he looked at Billy and asked, “Boss, you didn’t give them the Nine Dragons Cauldron and the Heaven Book, did you?”
“The Nine Dragons Cauldron is already in their young lady’s hands!” Billy replied with a faint smile.
“What?” Stout exclaimed and then turned to White Feather. “White Feather, you must have spoken to the white-clothed hero inside the Nine Dragons Cauldron, right? He won’t blame the Boss, will he?”
“I haven’t had the chance to speak to him yet!” White Feather shook her head.
“Really?” Stout clicked his tongue again and looked at Billy. “Boss, you’re in big trouble. Without permission, you gave away the Nine Dragons Cauldron again. He won’t let you off easily!”
“Stop talking nonsense. The master won’t blame Billy!” White Feather rolled her eyes at Stout.
“Let’s hope so!” Stout shrugged. “Of course, it’s also possible that the white-clothed hero is trapped by Zenith Sect and can’t come back…”
“Impossible!” White Feather glared at Stout again. “A mere eighth-tier star domain can’t trap the master. If they really anger him, he could destroy the entire eighth-tier star domain!”
“Miss Sanaa, I’ve already found the location of Flame Hall. It’s not far from here!” Billy said, looking at Sanaa.
“Rest for a while, and we’ll head to Flame Hall later. The Schroeder family…”
“No need to go!” Sanaa interrupted him. “My father and the others are already safe. They should be back at Universe Palace by now!”
“What?” Everyone exclaimed in surprise.
“Miss Sanaa, how do you know they’re safe?” Harleen asked.
“Flame Hall captured them to force me to exchange the Nine Dragons Cauldron and the Heaven Book for their release,” Sanaa explained. “When they found out I was captured by Zenith Sect, they lost interest in my father and the two elders.”
“Keeping them was useless, and killing them would only create another enemy, so they simply let them go.”
“Really?” Judge and Soul Chaser asked simultaneously. “That simple?”
Billy and the others were also skeptical. It couldn’t be that simple!
“What else?” Sanaa retorted.
“Sanaa, you’ve been at Zenith Sect all this time. How do you know the Schroeder family is safe?” Stout asked.
“I have my ways!” Sanaa replied and then turned to Billy. “But you killed Flame Hall’s young master. They won’t let this go easily. Be careful!”
“Got it!” Billy nodded.
“Let’s go. I’ll take you somewhere!” Sanaa continued.
“Where?” Billy was puzzled.
“You’ll know when we get there!” Sanaa replied. “It’s not far from here, but there’s no teleportation channel. We’ll have to go ourselves; it will take about four or five days.”
“Miss Sanaa, tell me the direction, and I’ll take you there!” White Feather said.
“You can carry all of us?” Sanaa was surprised.
Without the Nine Dragons Cauldron, they couldn’t enter its space anymore, hence the question.
“Yes!” White Feather responded and then flapped her wings to hover above the courtyard.
In an instant, her body expanded several times over, blocking out the sun.
“This is possible?!” White Tiger and Judge exclaimed in surprise.
“What’s so strange about it?” White Feather replied. “Once my spirit recovers, I can even transform into human form.”
“Alright!” White Tiger and the others shrugged.
Soon after, everyone sat cross-legged on her back as White Feather soared into the sky.
Though her body had grown several times larger, her speed was even faster than a seventh-tier star domain.
What should have taken four or five days was completed in two days.
Billy and the others dismounted from White Feather and stood in mid-air. Not far ahead was a tall mountain with a courtyard covering thousands of square meters at its base.
A few thousand meters away from the courtyard was a medium-sized lake.
The lake was shrouded in a light mist, its waters dark and seemingly bottomless.
In the center of the lake was a small boat with a woman sitting on it, holding a fishing rod.
The woman appeared to be about Sanaa’s age, with delicate features, white hair, and dressed in white, exuding an ethereal aura.
Billy tried to use his mental power to probe her cultivation level but was shocked when his mental power disappeared within tens of meters of her.
“Sanaa, who is this fairy-like lady…” Stout asked as they landed on the lakeshore.
“Shh!” Sanaa gestured for silence. “She has a bad temper, especially when fishing. If disturbed, she will go berserk with serious consequences!”
Splash!
Before she finished speaking, a huge commotion came from the lake.
The entire surface of the lake began to churn violently as if something was stirring beneath it, creating waves over ten meters high.
However, what shocked Billy and the others was that within seven or eight meters around the boat, the lake remained calm as before.
Such a miraculous sight left them in awe!
Whoosh!
Soon after, the white-haired woman gracefully stood up and lifted her fishing rod.
The next moment, Billy and his companions were stunned as they saw a massive creature hooked at the end of a thread-thin fishing line.
It looked like a legendary giant tooth shark, about tens of meters long with serrated teeth.
However, unlike a giant tooth shark, this creature was covered in dark gray scales that looked indestructible.
The fishing line penetrated its belly as it thrashed violently on the lake’s surface, causing waves like a tsunami.
After struggling for a while and realizing it couldn’t escape, it roared towards the sky and leaped towards the white-haired woman.
“Miss Fairy, watch out!” Stout shouted. “I’ll save you!”
As he spoke, he dashed forward but was stopped by a wave of energy from Sanaa.
At that moment, the white-haired woman reached out towards the creature.
In an instant, its beast core flew out of its body and into her hand.
Then she narrowed her eyes slightly, causing the creature’s body to explode into a mist of blood.
Of course, none of the blood reached her; her white hair and clothes remained spotless.
Soon after, the lake returned to its tranquil state as if nothing had happened.
Billy and his companions couldn’t help but gasp in amazement!
A master indeed!
